I know there is some disagreement about Mytomicin, and I read that Rosemary's uro said someone died from it (which I am guessing is very rare). Are there other side effects that my mom should know about? According to my mom, the uro made it sound as if it was no big deal, but I am wondering why some docs don't use it.
Dear Kim,
I'm no expert on mitomycin, but I did have 8 treatments with it. 6½ years ago it was not standard practice to instill anything after the TURB, so my treatments started a month later. I did develop a rash on my hands, which I was told to expect. I also, unfortunately, developed urethritis and ended up with a urethral stricture, but I think trauma from a careless catheterization along with the mitomycin caused that. It certainly didn't kill me
